Palimpsest: Art by Katherine Chang Liu & Eileen Senner

The word palimpsest is defined as something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form. In their artworks, both artists explore the concept of traces of the past or other objects visible within the compositions of their works. Both Senner and Chang Liu are residents of southern California and Chang Liu is the juror of the Expressions West exhibition. Katherine Chang-Liu and Eileen Senner will be presenting a free public discussion about Expressions and Palimpsest on Saturday April 15 at 1pm.
